-little story from the evening:
This was done on an inflatable screen, the most spectacular one I've ever seen. It's easily 30 feet high and the projection surface was larger than most theatrical screens you see these days.
Just after Marty McFly arrived in the 1950s and accidentally prevented his parents from meeting, he and Doc Brown went over to their high school to assess what kind of temporal damage Marty had done and figure out how to fix it. As they stood in the hallway talking, verrrry gradually a corner developed in the middle of the top masking and slowly dipped into the picture. Then the entire picture started to gradually lean away from the audience until we couldn't see any of the actors North of their belly buttons.
Just then the projectionist got on the PA and said:
"Ummm, Folks...obviously we are having some technical difficulties, but if you give us a few minutes we'll set this right."
The screen was looking like a crashed balloon at this point, but a minute or so later it started to stand up and reached full altitude about two minutes after that. The movie resumed, we all cheered and people went home happy regardless!
